Author

  • Shlomo Maital

Abstract

Results of U.S. survey of attitudes toward government were recently published. Respondents were asked whether spending on various government programs should be increased or cut. A similar set of questions were asked a decade ago. Comparisons reveal preferences for various public goods have remained remarkably stable. Furthermore, despite the stability of demand, federal, state and local expenditures have apparently not been responsive to the desires of the people. Policy implications are also outlined.
